1:55Now PlayingThe Poudre School District hopes policy changes will help repair broken trust between the district and parents after a paraprofessional was arrested on suspicion of assaulting six students with disabilities on board the district's buses, a spokesperson said.
Police arrested Tyler Zanella, 36, in May after reviewing footage from a school bus he was riding. The video showed Zanella hitting a child who has autism and is nonverbal, police said. Upon further investigation, six victims -- all with disabilities -- were identified, the police said.
Zanella was hired by Poudre Schools despite a prior conviction on a misdemeanor child abuse charge, 9Wants to Know learned.
"Our hearts, my heart, collectively hurts for everybody that was involved," district Chief Information Officer Madeline Noblett said. "That trust has been broken in our community, and that’s not something that we take lightly."
